Kamini was absolutely wonderful with my dog. She kept me updated every few hours with photos and videos of Biscuit having the best time with her dog, Pia. He came home happy and tired! I 100% recommend her services and will absolutely be rebooking soon!

Aleja was absolutely wonderful with Gus! From the moment we connected, she was kind, gentle, and clearly cared about making sure he was comfortable and happy. She kept us updated throughout, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. It’s not always easy leaving your dog with someone new, but Aleja made the whole experience stress-free. We came home to a very happy pup! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.

Estefania was amazing with Simba! Initially, I was a bit concerned about how her dog, Nova, would react to Simba since he’s very playful and persistent, but they ended up getting along just fine. When we first arrived for our meet and greet, Estefania’s home was clean and calm, and Simba immediately felt comfortable, heading straight for the toys. Talking with Estefania and hearing her insights on how puppies behave put my mind at ease, and I felt confident leaving Simba in her care. She also sent wonderful videos of Simba, and I could tell by his energy and excitement that Estefania treated him like her own. Simba can’t wait to visit Nova and Estefania again!

George had a wonderful time at Jillian’s home. Jillian sent me pictures and updates throughout the day which was a thoughtful addition! My George suffers from separation anxiety and upon picking him up there were not signs of that. We are so thankful that we found Jillian! Additionally, Jillian responds quick and has been a pleasure to connect with - would trust Jillian with my pup any time!

About: I have been taking care of pets since my first own pet, at around age five. Since then, my love for animals just grew and I can’t see my life without being around furry friends. I’ve been always helping family and friends to watch their pets when they are away for vacation so, I will love to host your pet in their new home away from home. I am a stay at home mom, so between the daily routine , I’ll have plenty of time to give your pet attention, love and playtime. I care for pets with love and respect. I always follow owners instructions and do my best to understand pet’s needs. I love to play with the pets and give them some love.

About: Take the trip, make the memories, we will spoil your dog. Dogs have been part of our family ever since we were little. I couldn't imagine our home without the dogs that have been part of our lives growing up. My parents have always been heavily involved in animal rescue and volunteer/run a shelter near their home. Every pet has their own personality, their own story to tell - and we just love to be a part of their lives. We work from home so we're always here to take the pooches in the yard or for a nice walk at the large park right next-door to our home so there's plenty of space for them to get out and play. We have a fenced in yard, so your pup can enjoy being outside with a little bit of freedom. We have a crate, should you need it and also a puppy pen for those little guys that might not be fully house-trained yet. Our kids love to play with the dogs outside, so you can count on extra love and plenty of fun. Our pup, Haley, passed this winter after 14 wonderful year of being a part of our family and we'll be sure to treat your dog like they are as well. My husband works from home, so he is always here to play & let the dogs out and loves the extra company here in his office. We have a nice big fenced in yard, so plenty of space to run around or just enjoy the sunshine for a bit. We're also right next to a nice park, perfect for our walks. We have extra dog beds and plenty of toys because we always want the pooches to be comfy and have lots of fun.

About: What sets me apart is my extensive experience and genuine love for animals. I owned a dog for 12 years, have had two cats for 5 years, and have fostered multiple cats with various behavioral challenges. I've also cared for my family's dogs and cats throughout the years. This hands-on experience has made me adaptable to different pet personalities and needs, from training puppies to caring for senior pets. I treat every animal with the same love and dedication I give to my own. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I’ve built my schedule around feeding, playtime, grooming, and exercise to ensure each pet gets the attention they need. Years of experience with my own and my family's pets have made caring for animals a seamless and fulfilling part of my life. In both my home and clients' homes, I provide comprehensive pet care tailored to each animal's needs: regular exercise, feeding and medication, playtime and enrichment, cuddles and affection, safety and security, and personalized attention. I ensure a seamless transition and continuity of care, prioritizing the well-being and comfort of pets in any setting.

About: Hello there! 👋 I have been involved with my parents two pups for the past 8 years. I’ve watched them grow since they were 3mo. old and have experienced caring for post-op injury (double knee reconstruction) on one, and a mast cell tumor removal/chemotherapy/radiation treatment on the other. This has required taking care of bandage changes, feedings, bathroom breaks with a sling, many cuddles, etc. I have since added 4 additional dogs to my care along with 1 feline friend! *Please Note: 20% of earnings is taken by Rover - prices have been slightly increased to accommodate for this and increased expenses. THANK YOU for your understanding!!* NEW! Doggy Daycare: For ALL daycare/boarding clients, all dogs must be up to date on their vaccines. This includes: -Rabies -Bordetella -Canine Influenza (recommended but not required) *Proof of vaccinations will be required prior to drop-off.

About: Hi there! I have 10+ years of experience as a dog and cat mom, along with 5+ years as a professional dog walker and caregiver. I absolutely love animals and take so much joy in giving them a safe, loving, and enriching experience while you’re away. Your dog won’t just be “watched” here - they’ll be on their own little adventure! I live on 900 acres of beautiful land and spend my days walking, hiking, and exploring with my dogs. It’s the perfect environment for pups who love fresh air, movement, and nature. I offer care in my home and am also happy to travel to pick up your dog for your convenience. I treat every pet like my own and aim to make their time here feel like a second home 🤍 I have a very flexible schedule and work remotely from home. The combination of my flexible schedule and working from home allows me the ability to come pick up your pup if needed, and host in my home! It is important for me to spend quality time with my pets and I would provide the same love and quality time with your fur-babies! We have a fenced in yard as well as 900 acres for leashed walks as well. Safety and security are very important to me when it comes to my pets, so it would be important for your babies as well. I like to keep an active lifestyle and spend a lot of time outdoors with my dogs. Your pup(s) would absolutely be included on these outdoor adventures! My goal is for your pet to have fun, and for you to have peace of mind while you're working or away.

David was amazing. We had a last minute outing planned that wasn't pup friendly. The night before David responded within minutes and offered to help out for a full 12 hours. It was the first time we were leaving our pup with anyone and he graciously agreed to meeting him the same night. The day of David sent updates without any request and was understand with pick up time (we we're a little late due to some traffic). Our pup was happy and well taken care of.

About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life — from dogs and cats to guinea pigs, sugar gliders, and even a pet chicken! Today, I’m the proud pet mom of two dogs (Poppy, a sweet pit-hound mix, and Banks, a goofy Great Pyrenees pup) and one curious cat named Sterling. As a fellow pet parent, I know how important it is to feel your fur baby is safe, loved, and truly cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet like my own — with patience, affection, and lots of playtime or snuggles (depending on their vibe!). Whether your pet needs structured care, a calm companion, or just someone who gets how much they mean to you, I’m here to help. I work from home full-time, so your pet will have my full attention throughout the day. Whether they need frequent potty breaks, extra playtime, or just a cozy companion nearby, I’ll be there — basically at their beck and call! I have a temporary fenced yard enclosed with galvanized steel fencing — it safely contains my two pups during supervised outdoor time. I never leave any dogs outside unsupervised. If you’d prefer your dog stays leashed, I’m more than happy to accommodate that! Inside, my home is set up in a way that allows me to separate your pet from mine if needed, to ensure a safe and comfortable experience for everyone.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Budd Lake

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Budd Lake on Rover is $42.18 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 1,801 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Budd Lake. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Budd Lake commute.

If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.

Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.

A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.

Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:

  • For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
  • For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
  • For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.

Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in NJ ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 1,801 sitters in Budd Lake, 88% respond to messages in under an hour.

You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
